Since 2010, Indentured Geek has been designing the very best in Desktops, and setting the bar for high-speed processing.

In 2005, our earliest efforts factored the Googol (one followed by 98 zeros and another one.) This was not a record but marked a change in emphasis from merely expanding large numbers in decimal.

In 1991, our founder was able to multiply together the factors of Fermat’s 9th number in decimal, to provide a decimal expansion that Mathematica, the Arbitrary Integer Arithmetic of the late 80s, could not expand. Prior to that, the factorization was accepted for the reason that each factor returned a remainder of zero when it divided an intermediate product.

In 2010, he joined the G(reat) I(nternet) M(ersenne) P(rime) S(earch,) and became interested in enhanced performance, starting Indentured Geek.

Today, Indentured Geek boasts over 100,000 Gigahertz days of processing on Mersenne.org, and one Mersenne factor, along with other computing accomplishments. This includes checking more than 650 exponents during eight years of participation, 275 of which were double-checking the work of others, a necessary part of the project.
